Webpack setup throwing "ReferenceError: Worker is not defined"

[johnstew]

Hi there,

I was able to get this working when dropping clooney onto a basic index.html page then running a script beneath it but went to set this up with Webpack and ran into an issue with Worker not being defined. This issue seems more in Webpack territory but figured I'd ask here to see if there is anything in particular that needs to be done in a Webpack config for this.

Example project: https://github.com/johnstew/clooney-demo

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply.

First of: 10 points to you for a demo repository!

But it compiles and runs just fine for me. Did you fix it or is it still broken for you?

Hmm, I'll try again this morning. Thanks for taking a look!

I recloned it and it looks like I'm still getting the error.

Here is how I'm using it:

import { spawn } from 'clooney';

(async function() {
  class MyRemoteClass {
    doExpensiveCalculation(a, b) {
      return a + b;
    }
  }

  const instance = await spawn(MyRemoteClass);
  console.log(await instance.doExpensiveCalculation(5, 23));
})();

and my webpack config:

const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    index: path.resolve(__dirname, './src/index')
  },
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist'),
    filename: 'index.bundle.js',
    globalObject: 'this'
  },
  plugins: [new HtmlWebpackPlugin()]
};

It seems it runs and returns the result as 28 but still see the error.

Also I'm running webpack with this command:

webpack-dev-server --mode development --port 5001 --config ./webpack.config.js
